  little house, we found she had waited up all night for us.

 Christmas without him, the star was gone.

     Don"t be angry with me, dear. I broke your star while putting away the decorations, and I couldn"t bear

阅读理解。     Stephen Hawking, a world famous British physicist, will write a children"s book with his daughter.

to control the computer"s mouse. He selects his words from the screen, which are then spoken by a
voice synthesizer(音响合成器).
I have had the disease for most of my life," Hawking once said. "Yet it has not stopped me from being
successful at my work."
     Although Hawking is such a disabled man, he made great achievements. He has received many
awards and prizes for his work over the years. This includes winning the Albert Einstein Award. It is

阅读理解。     Last year I went to an old-fashioned bar with Lisa and her mother. When it was my turn to order, I
had a problem. I was dyslexic (诵读困难的). I had difficulty reading words. I felt embarrassed
(尴尬的) about it and didn"t want others to know it. Every time in restaurants I pretended (假装) that I
could understand menus and ordered something that almost every restaurant could have. Luckily, I
succeeded every time. This time I did as usual. I had a look at the menu and asked for a dish of vanilla
ice cream. I thought it was safe. A place like this bar should have this kind of ice cream. But as soon as
Lisa heard me, she said, "Didn"t you read the menu? There isn"t any vanilla ice cream at all." After I heard
this, my face turned red. And I had to tell them the truth. "Dyslexia is quite common, Betty. My friend"s
daughter had this problem four years ago, but she is better now," Lisa"s mother said to me. Then she
passed me a business card and said, "Go to see this doctor! Believe me! He can help you." I am better
now. I understand that sometimes it isn"t the thing itself but what we have done that makes us embarrassed. I have learned to face my problems. I won"t escape (逃避) from them anymore.
